Introduced by Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields
Millburn of The Minimalists, this is a method that gamifies
the decluttering experience. It’s a popular decluttering
method with hundreds of people using the #minsgame
hashtag on social media every month.

Basics: Beginning on the first day of a month, the number of things
you declutter corresponds to the day of the month. One item on the
first day, two items on the second day, three on the third, and so on.
By the end of a 31-day month, you will have removed 496 items from
your home if you play all the way through. This game works best
when you challenge a friend or family member and see who can keep
going the longest.

• Pros: After a month, you will have
decluttered of a ton of stuff! Removing
almost 500 items from your home is no
small feat, and you can play as many
months in a row as you’d like. Another
important aspect of this decluttering
method is that it starts small and increases
over time. This allows you to build
confidence in your decision-making abilities
and get increasingly better letting go of
stuff.

• Cons: A major downside of minsgame is
that you have to stay consistent each day
otherwise it’s easy to fall behind. Much like
Tetris, the difficulty increases each level,
and it can also be difficult to keep up if
you’re inconsistent. Towards the end of the
month, you’ll need to find a good number
of items each day. After a long day of work,
the last thing you may want to do is find 25
items to declutter that day.
